Board Member

Hello!  I’m Shawn Poulson, a Republican Atheists correspondent from Maryland.  After committing to atheism 5 years ago, I began my learning on philosophy, theology, and its application in morality and politics.  My findings have lead me to align with the Republican Party.  I serve as vice chairman on my local Kent County Republican Central Committee where I discuss and vote on state and local level Republican initiatives. Contact Shawn.
